KEEP YOUR SHIRT ON AND SHOW SUPPORT
NEW ALLARD CHRYSLER DRAGSTER T-SHIRTS FROM LUCAS OIL

Lucas Oil has supported the restoration of Europe’s first dragster (Sydney Allard’s 1961 Allard Chrysler owned by the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu) in many ways. Thanks to Chris and Vince Andrews a proportion of all Lucas Oil sponsorship money going to the F&A Racing Top Fuel Dragster has been diverted to the restoration fund. Les Downey of Lucas Oil for Europe has given the Allard Chrysler Action Group (ACAG) a range of items to sell and auction, and these have produced good funds. And of course they have supplied all the race lubricants for the dragster.

Les came up with another great idea and he is supplying the ACAG with 100 Lucas Oil Motorsport Division T-shirts upon which have been added the project’s individual identity in vinyl showing the bonnet shape and colours along with the 58 race number. It means that the ACAG’s only cost will be the additional vinyl logo plus P&P.

This will be a true limited edition of 100 shirts – each one being numbered. So it’s quite a special item of branded clothing to own. And the shirts are priced very competitively too at only £15.00 plus £2.50 P&P UK. Ask for quote on overseas posting. Sizes are S, M, L, XL and XXL with S and XL already in stock. More sizes are expected from the USA shortly. Send your requirements to brian@allardchrysler.org and he will contact you for payment once the shirt is ready for dispatch. All profits go to the Allard Chrysler dragster restoration fund.

Thanks Annie. I'm going to post a 'car crazy cutie' shot featuring Melanie Butler. Remember it was the 1960s, Bikini Beach, etc. And in the 1970s Custom Car Magazine was full of beautiful girls. I bet Caroline Lucas would have them banned from the Palace of Westminster now. Weird how people's minds work when you think of what other stuff goes on there. What's worse? A photo of a pretty girl or cheating on expenses etc. I know how I feel. Thanks Melanie.
